Armed Suspects Shoot Security Guard in Late Night Game Room Robbery

The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division needs the public's assistance identifying the suspects responsible for an aggravated robbery.

On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, at around 11:00 pm, an unknown male entered a game room, located at the 1300 block of Garland, in Houston, Texas. Once the male was inside the establishment, he first acted like a customer, but as he was leaving, allowed two armed males inside. One of the suspects immediately attacked the security guard, shooting him in the process. The other armed suspect approached an employee inside the establishment and demanded the money from the safe. The suspects then loaded several of the gaming machines into a U-Haul truck, which was driven by a fourth unknown suspect. The suspects then fled the location. Houston PD #157974-25
